I've noticed this too in some coaches. Spend less time yelling & threatening and more time coaching.
That's too much work for some lol

No! I can guarantee it's a fat finger problem. Can I undo the rating?@PeanutsMom did you mean to mark my post as bullying?
We guard against this all the time.I keep coming back here as the thoughts keep coming.
But I think another piece of the issue is:
There are people/coaches/owners who LOVE cheerleading but don't actually like children.
Like, you won rings at Daytona, won Worlds, can tell anyone exactly why their double sucks, but you do not actually like dealing with athletes and the emotions that come with being a 12-15 year old kid.
That is why a lot of this happens.
Awesome cheerleaders do not always awesome coaches make.
Kids are typically on 3 teams at a gym this size because they want to field as many upper level teams in as many different divisions as possible. More chances for banners, jackets, and rings.I wil never ever understand the philosophy about a kid being on 3 teams. My heart is broken for this kid. Would that one full really hurt the team so they would walk away without jackets?
I will just quote coach Dana from the twinkles documentary and that's all I willingly say. Nothing about cheerleading is so important that it should make you this upset.
What other gym that size has kids on 3 teams? The one I'm at definitely does not. And from people on here at other gyms, it is far from the norm at big gyms.Kids are typically on 3 teams at a gym this size because they want to field as many upper level teams in as many different divisions as possible.

Tbis may be an unpopular opinion, but there are 2 sides to every story. We are only hearing one, and everyone involved should share some of the blame.This is the saddest, sickest thing I've ever read. What a bunch of heartless a-holes. So sorry @justpeachy
Not normal at big gyms, but there are a couple that do it. I don't know of anywhere else that does it on such a widespread basis, but it does happen.What other gym that size has kids on 3 teams?

True, I would love to hear the gym's side of this. But given the fact that this isn't the first or even the second time have heard a similar story out of the same gym I tend to believe there is a fair amount to be concerned about.Tbis may be an unpopular opinion, bit there are 2 sides to every story.

I would say of all the athletes that have gone there you're going to have some parents who have bad experiences, and for all of the others there were no "concerns". CEA doesn't force kids to do 3 teams, but you don't get to pick and choose which one you drop. It's pretty clear that was part of the issue here.True, I would love to hear the gym's side of this.
